The
most effective way to tone arms is being physically active. This doesn't mean
that you need to hit the gym every day, but there are many household activities
that requires intense arms movement, mopping, cleaning, rolling to name a few.
But to melt down the bulky plump, you need determination and focus. You need to
start with cutting down on unhealthy and high-calorie food, eating fresh to
stay healthy and look healthy. Here are a few more tips.

Weight
Lifting

This is a time tested exercise
to reduce arm fat and have toned arms. It is also an effective exercise to
remove belly fat which strengthens the core. For this exercise, you need to
select an item from your home to use as a weight. You can use a 2 liter cold
drink bottle or a water bottle for this exercise. If you have a pair of
dumbbells at home it works out just fine. The aim is to reach out for something
which weighs around one kilo. Avoid using something breakable or valuable. It
may fall down and break, so be very careful with your choice.

Hold that item with both your
hands and lift it over your head. Your arms should be straight, as this is your
starting position. Now lower the weight, by taking it behind your back. You
need to reach it as low as you can. Make sure that you don’t hurt yourself.
Bring up the weight above your head, again. The slower you move your arms, the
more toned your arms will get. It is important to keep your upper arms close to
your head and ears. Also try to practice this exercise in front of the mirror
if you can, it will help you improve the style. You need to do 3 sets of 20
reps, which means you will move the item 60 items above your head. After every
set you can take a rest of one minute. Increasing the weight or time after
every week will help you to tone your muscles, effectively.

Counter
Push Ups

The counter push up is an
amazing exercise to tone arms that can be done using a table or kitchen
counter, as the focus of this exercise is on stability. You need to face the
counter with your arms on the edge of it and your feet touching the base of the
counter. Move back from the counter until you feel your body leaning forward on
tiptoes.

You need to be balanced on your
feet and your back should be straight. This is your starting position. Bend
your elbows and come down till you touch the counter. Now straighten your
elbows and come back to your starting position. This is a complete rep and you
need to do 3 sets of 20 reps, every day. This will tone your arms within few
weeks.

Go
for skipping

If you think it's irrelevant,
then you are wrong. Skipping is the best cardio workout and it's inexpensive as
well. It doesn't just help you sweat out the fat from your body, but gives you
sleek and tone arms too. "Skipping rope affects arms muscles as you lift your
body's weight as well as move your arms in circular motion. This increases the
activity in the arms. Count Seconds instead of skipping repetitions to make the
process more effective," says Gautham Kumar, a fitness expert.

Rotate
wrist

Wrist rotation affects your
shoulders and lower arms which are the plumpest areas. "Hold one to two
pounds of dumbbells in each hand and stand up. The gap between your feet should
be equal to your shoulder length. Extend both the hands forward and keep them
firm. Now, swiftly rotate your wrist upward and inward as far as possible. This
will help tone the arm muscles," says Gatuham.

Triceps
with one arm

Sit on the floor and place your
hands almost a foot behind your hips; your fingers should point towards the
butt. Your legs and feet should be pressed together, knees bent and feet flat
on the floor. Keep your arm straight to raise your hips above the floor. Bend
your left elbow only with one arm and lower your butt as close to the floor as
possible without actually touching it. Repeat it with right elbow.

Lift
your body up

Do you remember how you used to
do pull-ups in the park as a kid? You have to just follow the same. Hold a
sturdy strong rod that can bear your body weight. Grasp it firmly and pull
yourself up the floor. When you go up hold the position for a few seconds and
let your arm muscles take all the strain. Do a set of 20 and after a two-minute
break, repeat the set. In case, you are doing it for the first time, then, do
as many pull-ups as you can, but don't strain yourself.

Chair
Dips

This is an effective fat reduce
exercise that not only tones the arms, but also the back muscles. For this
workout you need to choose a bed or chair, which is a little higher to the
ground. Anything that will be stable on the ground is a good choice. A soft
cushion sofa may not be the best idea; it will make the toning exercise harder
to perform. The furniture should be at least 2 feet higher than the ground. You
should have 3 feet of free space in front of the item, to perform this exercise
with ease. Face away from the furniture and place your hands on it. Your arms
should be shoulder width apart. Move three to four steps away from the
furniture; keep your upper body straight. This is your starting position. Bend
your knees to match the furniture. Bend your elbows and move your whole body to
the ground, the aim is to touch the floor. Come back into your normal position.
You need to do 3 sets of 20 reps, every day. This is undoubtedly one of the
best exercises to do to lose weight fast.

Scissors

This exercise can be really fun
to perform and will help you lose arm fat extremely fast. It is one of the best
cardio workouts to lose weight. This exercise as mentioned in the name
resembles a scissors being opened and closed. You need to begin by standing
straight and lifting your arms to shoulder height, in front of you. Stretch
your arms to the side and bring them back to your front, the right hand should
overlap the left. This resembles an open scissors. You need to stretch them to
the side again and bring them back to the front. This time your left arm should
overlap your right. This is a complete rep and this exercise needs to be done
in 3 sets of 10 reps every day.
